Here is a script to be able to post blog entries from sl. 

This script is working for : 
wordpress 
drupal 
joomla 

This script is open source, but i have made an extended version to use with wordpress that you can buy here 

To make it work, you need to add this script in a box, and create a notecard. 

Then you need to fill the 3 first variables in the script : 
username ( the username on the site ) 
password ( the password of this username on the site ) 
url ( the address of your website. ex : http://monsite.com/wordpress 

During the creation of the notecard, you can change these values ( but when changing values by notecard, the values set ?
stay in place, so you need to reset the script to go back to the default values ) Click on the object to make the rest ?
menu appear. 

Carrier returns are working and html content too. 

when the notecard is created, you just need to drop it on the object and then a menu will appear after the notecard ?
analyzis to ask you confirmation. This script can be extended to add other options but the base is here. 

WARNING : THE NOTECARD LINES CAN NOT BE LOGER THAN 256 CHARS BECAUSE OF SL LIMIT
